' Be itknovin thfiiomn Hanna, 1. citizenof theUriited at Melroee Park, in tlie county-of Coolran'd. smear Illinois, hate invented new and Improvements in Electric of which the following is aspecificatiomx This invention relates to heaters especially adapted for emplo ing'electric current.

l An'im'portant object-of this invention is JO provide a heater da ted to be incur:

rated ina dividing w or. partition.bet eenizwo. adjoining rooms and provided with means whe' :same may be posiy 7 tioned to'throw heat into'both of the rooms v or into only orient the rooms.

- v A further object is-to provide a heater of.- "the' character specified which may be con-- part of this application and in which like nmumerals are; employed to designate like parts-throughout thesame,

F'gure 1 is a side elevation otthe improved heater applied; a Fig. 2' is a vertical transverse sectional 86 'view through the heater installed v Fig. 3 is a fragmentary perspective of the i hi i m h f m n e ra wereinor e purpose oi illustrationisshown 'a preferred'embodi- 4 meat of the inventiomthe' numeral 5 d nates'anjnside wall or partition which d1- vides two adjoining rooms andwlilch may be composed of spaced studs to which the usual laths and plaster are applied. 46 To install the im roved heater which generallydesignat by the numeral 6 it in merely necessary to provide an elongated opening in. the wall 5 and trim the-same as indicated at 7 to conceal the'edge-of'thet 60 plaster. Fig. 2 illustrates that the side walls of the-opening and the to and bottom walls of the opening are spa as indicated at 8 The improved heater with end walls 10 having 'their lpwer ends 'oined in any suitable manner to the ends 0 a transversely curved bottom wall 11. Fig.3 illusdotted lines in into only one of the rooms.

. toward their trates that'tlvgend walls 10 are uniformly flared toward-their upper ends and are connected to the ends of a transversely curvedto M11112. n-can'yingout the invention a longitudnrally extending conduit mounted on the curved bottom wall ll'between the longitudinal edges of the bottom wall and is provided with pairs of outwardly inclined heating elements 15 havin connection in the usual manner with a cor 16. Of course the cord 16 ms extend to' a suitable point of current supp y such as an electric light. socket.

The end walls 10 are=provided at points slightly below the horizontal center of the same with trunnions 24 rotatably mounted n the spacing 8 so that the heater may be positioned to direct the heat into either one of the adjoining rooms or both of the ad gaining rooms. hen the heater is sitioned as'illustrated in full lines in Fig. 2 the heat is directed into both of the rooms and when it is ositioned as illustrated in ig. 2 the heat is directed However as the trunnions 24 are located below the center of gravity the heater will remain in an adjusted position without spe-' cial fastening devices Handles 17 of any suitable type are secured along the longitudinal edges of thetop wall 12 so that the heater may be adjusted from either room.

The heat \from the heater is prevented from damaging the partition by .hoods 18 which project from opposite sides of the partiti'on at a point adjacent the upper wall of the openi Vith riiirence to the foregoing description taken in connection with the amenipanyingdrawing it will be seen that: heater constructed in accordance "with iliLs-invem tion may beuickly and conveniently installed and will etiiciently heal. one or two rooms in an economical manner. The device may be controlled by means of a switch and support 14 is r so that when desired the heat may be cut 05.

Having thus described the invention,'

what I claim as new is:

I. A heateg comprising a pair of metallic end walls substantially increased in width upper ends, transversely curved to and bottom walls secured to the upper an lower endsof the end walls, .a conductor extending longitudinally of the lower wall between the longitudinal edges heater wi of the sameand having diverging heating elements, and trunnions secured to the en walls and adapted for connection with a sup rt, said trunnions being located in line wit each other and being located below the center of ravity of the eater whereb the 5 remain in an adjusted position, said trunnions being adapted for connection witilli the opposite walls of an opening in a wa 2. The combination-with a partition wall having an opening and hoods arranged at opposite sides of the opening, of a heater arranged in the wall and having end walls pro.- vided with longitudinally extending trimnions connected to the end walls of the opening, and heating elements arranged in the heater, said trunn'ions bein below the center of gravity of the heater vii will heating either of two adjoining rooms.

3. The construction set forth in claim 2, the space between the edges of the top and bottom walls at oppositesidesof the heater being entirely free and unobstructed for the free movement of the heat in opposite direc tions from the heater.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
